Would the Beehaw community be interested in some pay-it-forward action? (beehaw.org)

Currently, we have $6,500.91 in our hopper.

It just seems weird having all of those, mostly, unused funds sitting there doing nothing.

I just wanted to start the conversation about the possibility of paying-it-forward in some capacity. For example, a certain percentage of monthly contributions could go to a charity.

What are your thoughts?

what if the extra went into something that could generate income and be a buffer against unforeseen events? at 1% thats $65/mo, which isn't a king's ransom but it also isn't nothing.
